Port Site Sinus in a Post Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patient

Laparoscopic port-site infections, though infrequent, undermine the advantages provided by minimally invasive surgeries. Persistent non -healing discharging sinuses, not responding to conventional antibiotic therapy, pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Laparoscopic port -site infections range from 2% to 6%, and rapidly growing non -tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) as a cause of such infections have been established in several reports.
